How could/would you make good the core drilled holes in order to enable
the=
chimney to be used again in the future?
It sounds to me as though your actions would write the chimney off for its
=
"proper" use?=20
If you're happy to that then OK.
It might be worth having a word with your local Building Control Inspector
=
to ask their advice.

Many thanks
